Instrumentation & Control Estimating
High-precision takeoffs for process automation, SCADA systems, and industrial control integration across the oil & gas, energy, and manufacturing sectors.
Instrumentation & Control Estimating Services
In the world of process automation, precision is the only metric that matters. We provide specialized I&C estimating services that bridge the gap between complex engineering designs and profitable bids. Our team performs a deep-dive analysis of your P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), PFDs, and Loop Drawings to quantify every field instrument, transmitter, and control valve. Whether you are integrating a Distributed Control System (DCS), building out a SCADA network, or installing localized PLC panels, we ensure every floor stand, instrument tubing run, and signal cable is accounted for with forensic accuracy.
Estimating I&C projects requires a unique understanding of both electrical infrastructure and logical integration. We help you stay ahead of the competition by delivering comprehensive bid packages that factor in the high costs of specialized hardware and technical labor. Using industry-leading software like Bluebeam and Planswift, we provide color-coded digital markups that track every instrument tag and loop. Our 24-48 hour turnaround allows you to respond to complex industrial RFPs with a detailed labor-hour analysis—calibrated for loop checking, calibration, and commissioning—ensuring your bid is as technically sound as it is competitive.

Our mission is to help automation specialists and I&C contractors eliminate the uncertainty of manual takeoffs for complex process systems. By providing a forensic breakdown of every HMI panel, sensor array, and field-to-controller link, we empower you to file bids with 100% mathematical confidence. From BMS gateways to heavy industrial robotics, we ensure your proposals reflect the exact technical requirements of the control specs, helping you win more contracts with optimized material lists and zero missed components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions from Contractors
Yes. We are experts at performing takeoffs directly from Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams. We can build a complete instrument list and estimate the required tubing and cabling based on the process flow shown.
Absolutely. Our takeoffs include all secondary materials, such as instrument stands, brackets, manifolds, and tubetrack supports, so your bid reflects the total installation cost.
Yes. We quantify the main control cabinets, remote I/O racks, HMI panels, and even the internal modules and power supplies if required by the project specifications.
Yes, we have extensive experience in estimating pneumatic control lines, hydraulic cabinets, and motion control systems for various industrial and manufacturing applications.
